YouTube Lauches Search Tool  

Posted by Celeste in , ,

YouTube has recently launched a music video search tool similar to that of Pandora, called Disco. Disco allows you to search for an specific artist and suggests similar artists and music to what you typed in. The only "glich" so far is that it suggests mostly music from the artist that you type in not so much just similar music from different artists.

According to this article, the Warner Music Group was planning on making the music from artists on their label available online to US subscribers through. The deal would not include latests hits or songs. The idea is to expand its 400,000 subscriber base.

The CEO said they were in talks with label partners for new licensing deals to allow the website to steam songs. There are companies that already allow this such as Last.hm and LaLa. EMembers have to pay a monthly fee for the services.

Facebook using MySpace video sharing?  

Posted by Marissa Tucker in , , , ,

I saw this article and thought it was really intriguing. Facebook announced that they are partnering with Myspace so that users can share content from MySpace on Facebook. I think that this is a good move on Facebooks part, but I still think that MySpace is a dieing social medium. Facebook, which was working on a video and music sharing feature anyway, will benefit the most from this partnership, but this partnership may prolong MySpace's life expectancy. This is definitely a smart move on both parts, but it makes me wonder if there is going to be a total merger in the future.

Last.fm internet radio station launches in 4 cities  

Posted by Annessa in , ,

Last.fm, an internet radio station that tracks the songs users listen to, has decided to launch user-powered radio stations in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Chicago. The radio stations plan to play popular songs on Last.fm, as well as user recommended songs.

As a user of Last.fm, I find it interesting that a website whose content is powered by social media is able to transition itself into another medium. Not only will this increase Last.fm's overall popularity, but the user recommendations will help to promote musicians who would otherwise remain unknown.
